Pot brownies? More like haute brownies. If you’re on a CBD kick – like the rest of us – you’ll flip for this sweet collab from two of our fave wellness brands: vegan resto mini-empire By CHLOE and NYC’s clean green beauty haven, CAP Beauty.
The duo joined forces to create the ultimate plant-based chocolate treat using CAP’s adaptogenic CBD oil, The Daily Hit — and we’re sharing the exclusive (non-intoxicating) recipe for these CBD brownies below!
Our fave Right Coast-dwelling food writer, Kat Odell tried the brownies firsthand and reports back..
What I Ate: By Chloe x CAP Beauty’s cannabis-laced CBD brownies.
Why I Ate It: I am fascinated with CBD – which is the nickname for cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive compound in cannabis that won’t get you high, as compared to THC, which will. Right now, modern medicine is increasingly dedicating resources to studying the positive wellness impact that CBD and other compounds within cannabis have on humans, which is extremely exciting, since the plant is linked to an ever-growing laundry list of health benefits.
Why You Need it: Because not only is this guilt-free brownie devoid of animal ingredients, it likewise will help curb anxiety and mellow you out, thanks to a dose of CBD.
